SECRETLY, AND WITHOUT
FINGERPRINTS, HE CAN PROVIDE
ONE OF HIS HIDDEN WEAPONS TO
TERRORISTS OR HELP THEM DEVELOP
THEIR OWN.
BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11, MANY IN
THE WORLD BELIEVED THAT SADDAM
HUSSEIN COULD BE CONTAINED.
CHEMICAL AGENTS, LETHAL
VIRUSES, AND SHADOWY TERRORIST
NETWORKS ARE NOT EASILY
CONTAINED.
IMAGINE THOSE 19 HIJACKERS WITH
OTHER WEAPONS AND OTHER PLANS,
THIS TIME ARMED BY SADDAM
HUSSEIN.
TAKE ONE CANISTER, ONE CRATE
SLIPPED INTO THIS COUNTRY TO
BRING A DAY OF HORROR LIKE NONE
WE HAVE EVER KNOWN.
WE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR
POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
DAY NEVER COMES.

SOME HAVE SAID WE MUST NOT ACT
UNTIL THE THREAT IS IMMINENT.
SINCE WHEN HAVE TERRORISTS AND
TYRANTS ANNOUNCED THEIR
INTENTIONS, POLITELY PUTTING US
ON NOTICE BEFORE THEY STRIKE?
IF THIS THREAT IS PERMITTED TO
FULLY AND SUDDENLY EMERGE, ALL
ACTIONS, ALL WORDS, AND ALL
RECRIMINATIONS WOULD COME TOO
LATE.
TRUSTING IN THE SANITY AND
RESTRAINT OF SADDAM HUSSEIN IS
NOT A STRATEGY, AND IT IS NOT
AN OPTION.

What is wrong with the teleprompter? The part about Iraq was very halting and broken. I love the message, but the delivery seems strained tonight.
